Obsidion, the sprawling third album from Los Angeles’ cinematic instrumental rock outfit, BARROWS, will see release next Friday, May 26th, and advancing its public unveiling, No Clean Singing has premiered the massive “Zenith.”

BARROWS’ brand of sci-fi instrumental rock conveys their thoughts and visions without the use of words. Upon hearing Obsidion, one can dissect from it fragments of references to progressive, space, kraut, and psych rock acts, citing anything from early King Crimson and Pink Floyd to John Carpenter and Goblin. Clocking in at nearly thirteen minutes in length, “Zenith” is the spacious, dynamic Obsidion album-closer, a dynamic and engrossing song that infuses and coalesces all the prime attributes of the band’s organic and galactic sound.

No Clean Singing issues “Zenith,” noting of Obsidion, “Listening is like being cast off the confines of mundane life and body-surfing the gravity lanes of deep space in a dreamlike exploratory trip.”

Adds BARROWS, “The album depicts the experience of a man who is abducted from earth and brought to Obsidion, a place where dimension is indefinable and the boundaries of human consciousness cease to exist”

BARROWS’ Obsidion was written and performed by Jim Leonard and Richy Epolito, recorded and mixed by Sean Foye, Jim Leonard, and Richy Epolito. The album was mastered by Eroc from the legendary Krautrock band Grobschnitt and features stark/abstract artwork and photography by Alexandre Souêtre. Emotional and evocative,

Obsidion will be released May 26th, digitally through the band, and on deluxe 2xLP via Tonzonen Records. Find preorders for the vinyl RIGHT HERE.

BARROWS will embark on a month-long US tour in support of Obsidion, beginning directly after the final show of the band’s Los Angeles residency, which has been ongoing throughout the entire month of May. The final two residency shows take place this Monday, May 22nd, and Monday May 29th – the latter doubling as the record release show – after which they’ll hit the highways across the country in a counter-clockwise path playing nearly every night through July 1st.

Formed in Syracuse by Jim Leonard and Richy Epolito, before the two relocated to Los Angeles, BARROWS recruited guitarist Ryo Higuchi and bassist Brock Haltiwanger to flesh out the live lineup. Having proven themselves to be a formidable force in the realm of exploratory rock through two prior albums – 2011’s Imprecari Island, and 2014’s Red Giant – BARROWS reaches further into the depths of consciousness on Obsidion. Boasting driving passages amidst massive expanses of powerful cosmic and atmospheric exploration, Obsidion bears an indescribable energy at its core, though the final product is implemented with a calculated coolness.
